Roosevelt placed his brand upon the Chicago convention in regulation cow boy style, just used his lasso, threw it and applied the iron red hot.

The reason assigned was that Governor LaFollette was too radical in his op- position to the Trusts and the mon- ey power. It moans trouble for the G, O, Py in that state. en EPEENTS Asecond term prospect held Mr, Roosevelt ia check in filling out Mr. McKinley's unexpired term, but if he is endorsed with an election for four y ars no one can foretell what com plications he will got our country In abroad.

June 20 -Charles Netheher owaoer of the Bostoa store and one of Chicago's most prominent and wealthy merchents, died this morn- ing as a result ofan operation forap- enendicitis. He was 52 years old and began his Dusinesscareeras a bundle boy fn Buffalo at $5 a week He was the most heavily insured man in Chicago and carried $600,000 at the t me of his death, At Greenfield last Monday Hon.

Mr. DeArmond was present and spoke feelingly of his gratitude to his constituents for the continued honors bestowed upon hima.

This time the Globe took a new tack and endeavored to create dis- affection In Democratic ranks by ful- some praise and flattery of a candi- date that it believed could not te nominated over the opposition of those in charge of the party machin- ery. The Globe has found out to its sorrow that the issue of honesty and incorruptibility in public office, struck & responsive cord in the hearts ofthe sturdy, honest voters of Missouri and that not only Democrats, but members of the Globe’s own party became the admirers, friends and sup- porters of Mr. Folk, and he will not only be nominated but elected by the biggest majority ever accorded a candidate for governor in the state. So the Globe has begun to hedge and to bear false witness against Mr. Folk, but it is too late, and its pol- icy, which promised so much a few months ago in the overthrow of the Democratic party, has proved a veritable boomerang, and will now have to be put down as another of the Globe-Democrat’s egregious blunders THE GRANTING OF FRANCHISES. We notice in the last proceedings of the city council that an ordinance granting a gas franchise was referred to the ordinance committee, The matter of a gas franchise is a very important one to the cit!zens of But- jlor, Franchises for public utilities in cities the size of Butler are, as a rule, very valuable, and of deep concern t» the citizens and taxpayers, The privilege resting. in the council to grant them to private companies, or corporations, has been sadly abused in the past, in most towns, because proper restrictions for the protection of the citizens have not always been | caretully thrown around them. Be- jforeso valuable a franchise as the jone above referred to is granted by the council the provisions thereof should be published aad the people given an opportunity to study them and diseuss them intelligently and alvise with the members of the coun- cil as to the advisability of granting afranchise. Natural gas, if found in sufficient amounts for heating pur- poses, would andoubtedly be a good thing for the town, provided the in terests of the consumer had been sufficiently safeguarded to prevent exhorbitant charges. The same can be said cf manufactured gas. The day is fast approaching when the , question of fuel will be a very serious {and important one, when gas will have to take the place of coal and wood. For that reason, if no other, a gas franchise should bedrawn very carefully. It is the duty of the coun- vil to look after the interests of the people the corporations will look after their own interests. The better element of white Repub- licans are cu..,;: ned over the action of the national Republican commit- tee in svatiis : ue negro delegates-at- large from Lulsana over the white contestante, all of whom were prom- penser. We are satisfied that our|izens of that state. President Roose- affable postmaster, Dell Welton, was volt threw his influence to the side of 03 the right side. Our understanding is he was very friendly to Mr. Akiné'| sible for the the committee’s actione, and desired his success. In spite of the dark pictures he draws of political and social condi- tions, Lincoln Steffens declares he is not a pessimist. “I gee the worst all tho timo,” be says, ‘so must believe in someting better. The fact that I write and McClure’s publishes such » shows that we believe that something be done. The real pessimist is *the fellow who sa}s ‘what’s the uee?’! j Inetudying the misgovernment ot | cify and state I see that even the; gtafters have virtues that can be ap- dto.

WOODSON NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION. The St. Joseph Convention Con- trollad by Anti-Folk Forces. St. Joseph, Mo., June 21.—Judge A.M. Woodson was nominated by acclamation for member of the su- preme court by the Demecratic state judicial nominating convention at 5:20 o’clock this afternoon, after which the delegates scrambled for their various trains and left for home The convention was devoid of partic- ular interest. Only one contest was brought before the committtee on credentials, that from St. Louis county. After three hours of hearing of testimony the committee decided to seat both the Hawes and the Folk delegates from St. Louis county, giv- ing each member a half vote orton Jordan, of St, Louie, was temporary chairman and E. M Harber, of Grundy, was permanent chairman, Harry B. Hawes was chairman of thecredentials committee. Congress: man Jim Butler, WV. T., Keinper and Virgil Conklin were members of the credentials committee to back Harry The Folk forces reserved all contests for a fusure state convention. KNOX’S SELECTION WAS BY THE TRUSTS W. J. Bryan Says New Senator Was-a-Resuitof-Confer- ence of Corporations. WILL DEMOCRATS PROFIT? Lincoln, Neb. June 18.—W. J. Bry aa in the Commoner says: “The press dispatches announce that Attorney General Knox has been selected to succeed Senator Quay. His gelvetion was bronght by a conference between’ the heada of the various corporate interests of Penn sylvania, Frick of the steel trust and Cassaté of the Powe Wvania i athoad being the most conspicuous figures. When he was agreed upon the mat- ter was presented to President Roose- velt, and he consented to Mr. Knox’s retirement, saying that he would be usefal in the senate in the prepara: tion of legislation on the trust question. The fact that he was urged by Frick and Cassatt makes it plain that he is to be putin the senate as a representative of the trasts, just as he has been thelr representative in the cabinet, the fact that Prosideut Roosevelt fs glad to have him there further evidenced (‘f farther evidence were needed) that the president has no intention of interfering with the trusts. The corporations control Pennsylvania. « Quay was the political representa- tive of those influences, and the selec- tion of Mr. Knox as his successor {s a confession that Mr. Knox is, and has been, as frequently charged, merely the representative of corpor- ate interests in the cabinet. Will the appointment of Mr. Knox by the trusts strengthen the Demo- cratic position in the coming cam- paign? Thatdepends. If the Demo- erats will adopt a sound platform and nominate a candidate free from the taint of corporation control the Knox incident can be turned to ad- vantage. What trust ropresenfative will President Roosevelt select as Mr. Knox’s successor? It {¢ probable that Mr. Knox will retain his posi- tion In the cabinet until after the election and thus save the president the embarrassment of selecting a attorney ral during the —— Mayor James A.
